It's really strange. If you're going to struggle, you might as well throw Browne in there and see what he can do. Kessler and Wittek are setting the bar awfully low anyway. Even if Browne isn't ready quite yet, it's not like he can afford to wait around. Stashing him for an extra year of eligibility won't do you any good with the position he's in. Much easier sell to try to keep your job if Browne starts playing well at the end of the year.

Kiffin is already doing enough damage to Kess and Wittek, why mess with Browne at this point? Would I like to see him get the starts? Yeah, probably...but at this point this season doesn't look all that promising and I'd rather just let him start fresh next season. He really needs to utilize this year to get bigger.

They aren't completely terrible, but they really shouldn't cause you any problems. The only tricky thing about them is they run the pistol half decently with a mobile QB. Outside of that, they don't have great athletes on either side of the ball and their defense is terrible. FSU should destroy them.

Who wants to watch the two-time defending champion take on the defending Heisman winner when they can watch a two squads from Iowa battle in a slugfest that inevitably ends 5-3.

Whoa whoa whoa...the score is going to be that high for our game?

Seriously though, I guess the links are wrong and the Bama-TAMU game is like $700, but still, why is anyone paying that much for two bottom of the barrel BCS teams? Especially to play at a high school stadium...

You've been to Iowa, so you already know the answer to your question.

Hawkeye fans always brag about their attendance vis-a-vis Minnesota, forgetting to note that a picture of a dog licking its ass could draw 50k people in Iowa.

It's true. On one hand, it's awesome to have attended and be a fan of a program that has such a huge following, especially given that we aren't Michigan or OSU in the Big Ten.

On the other hand, I loathe 90% of Iowa fans because they have no knowledge of the team or what's going on. They are basically Cub fans. I get the students, they are allowed to be ingorant to the specifics and be fans, but then you have the majority of random Iowans treating the team like a pro team and still know nothing or think that we should bench Mark Weisman for Jordan Canzeri because Weisman will never score a TD over 25 yards and Canzeri is probably our fastest RB.

Weisman is the prototypical "bell cow" running back the Big 10 is famous for.

It's funny how commentators are talking about how hard of a schedule Tennessee has this year. They have a hellacious schedule every year. They play Florida, Georgia, and SCAR in the SECE, and they're Bama's permanent SECE opponent. Then throw LSU in there occasionally. I know adding Oregon to that is big, but when it comes to out of conference matchups, UT has been the most proactive in the SEC for a while, especially since they have to recruit nationally. This isn't a big deal to Vols fans.

Nebraska's defense is very young and just not as good as in years past, and I just don't recognize T-Mart as a good QB. I'll be really surprised if Nebraska wins this game.

UCLA definitely has some youth on the defensive side as well and TMart could be tricky to contain. The guy can run. I'm definitely not going to overlook a game in Nebraska. If the Bruins win, I'll consider it fine victory.
